Two arrested in string of commercial break-ins
The burglaries, which occurred over the past few months, involve the theft of flat-screen televisions.
ARRESTED
Antonio Sells
and Bennie Denson: They were pulled over after a description of their vehicle was broadcast on police radios soon after the latest burglary.

Crime Tracker:
Search and map crimes reported to Tulsa Police from Jan. 1, 2007, to present. You can search by ZIP code, crime type, date range or day the crime occurred.
Police arrested two men early Wednesday on complaints accusing them of stealing several flat-screen televisions from businesses in the last few months.
Antonio Sells, 25, and Bennie Denson, 26, were arrested on seven second-degree burglary complaints in connection with break-ins at Tulsa businesses that included restaurants, a dentist's office and a trucking company.
More complaints could be added as detectives continue to investigate whether the pair could be tied to other burglaries, Sgt. Brandon Watkins said. At least 20 to 30 commercial burglaries in the last few months could be connected, he said.
Watkins said the property loss is in the tens of thousands of dollars and that in many cases, more damage was done to the businesses than the stolen property was worth, Watkins said.
The suspects were arrested after Officer Ryan Woods heard a burglar alarm in the area of 61st Street and Garnett Road about 3 a.m. Wednesday.
He determined that Airco Service Inc., a heating and air, plumbing and electrical business at 11331 E. 58th St., had been broken into but that the burglars had fled after trying to steal a flat-screen television.
Watkins said that when burglary detectives heard the call dispatched, "they knew it fit the profile of these guys who had already been developed as suspects, so they had dispatch broadcast the description of their vehicle and the tag number."
Cpl. B.C. Leonard soon stopped the vehicle near 11th Street and Denver Avenue. Sells and Denson were in it.
Meanwhile, Officer Shane Goben reviewed surveillance video at Airco. Based on what he saw on the video, Sells and Denson were arrested.

Airco had a flat screen TV? Maybe that is why they are so slow to respond to my call for service.

The stuff isn't yours!! It doesn't belong to you so leave it alone and knock it off. While your at it, knock the chip off your shoulders and find a decent way to make a living.

By the looks of Antonios rap sheet it seems clear he will be back on the streets in no time. 3 previous larceny convictions. 2 of which were deferred or suspended and minimal time in jail. That will teach him. He will never committ robbery again!

I wish someone would try to steal my 36" Sony old style TV. They couldn't run with it because it weighs about two hundred pounds. Then I would shoot the perps...four to six rounds each, and I would make sure that a few rounds went through my Sony. Then my insurance carrier would buy a new, flat screen HDTV for me. Come on over, boys!

Good job TPD!! Another story with a happy ending. I hope you can keep up the good work after you guys have to start taking furlough days. Oh well according to Mayor Taylor we need to furlough our police and fire departments doesnt matter what the crime rate is, as long as she gets her way.
